Indiana Religious Freedom Bill
First off: Chief Delphi mods, please feel free to delete this thread if you find it inappropriate.

The State of Indiana has passed a Religious Freedom Bill, the official summary of which can be found here: https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2015/...digest-heading

Some people feel the bill will allow businesses in Indiana to refuse to serve, or discriminate against LGBT people. The Governor of Indiana says this is not the case.

Several businesses and events have announced their intention to boycott the State of Indiana because of this bill.

Should the FRC community have any response to this, or is it irrelevant to FIRST Robotics?
Should this affect teams attending IRI?
Should the IRI organizers make any statement/policy in response?

Thanks for any thoughts anyone might have.
